The Chai Tattle - 22nd July 2026

Panic is hitting the markets as escalation continues.

Panic has now set into the market with increasing escalation in the war with US government inquiring for even more funds that signals that the war might be extended for a number of months. That obviously adversely effected the investment climate with the benchmark index dropping more than 1700 points and the AllShr index dropping more than 800 points.

With 71% of the traded equities going into the red the depth the decline in the indices does not fully explain the movement in the market.

The return profile of the equities shows a much meatier middles section for the negative returns and overall higher peaks except the outliers which in many ways mask the scope of the decline seen on the market.

It will be interesting to see how the earnings season effects the equities market.
